check-hostname

check-hostname(1M)					  System Administration Commands					check-hostname(1M)

NAME

       check-hostname - check if sendmail can determine the system's  fully-qualified host name

SYNOPSIS

	/usr/sbin/check-hostname

DESCRIPTION

       The   check-hostname script is a migration aid for sendmail(1M).  This script tries to determine the local host's fully-qualified host name
       (FQHN) in a manner similar to  sendmail(1M). If	check-hostname is able to determine the FQHN of the local host, it reports success. Other-
       wise,  check-hostname reports how to reconfigure the system so that the	FQHN can be properly determined.
